Signing on July 22, 1954, the station served as the market's only TV station until 1965, when WTWO signed on. The station has always been a CBS affiliate. However, on various occations, it has also carried selected programs from ABC, NBC and until its demise, DuMont.The Hulman family & The Wabash Valley Broadcast Group owned the station until the mid '90s, when it was sold to Emmis Communications.
Emmis sold the station to LIN TV in August of 2005. LIN also owns 3 other CBS affiliates in Indiana (including WISH-TV in Indianapolis).
Local news had been in existence since sign-on. Known since the mid '70s as "NewsCenter 10", the local newscast changed to "Action 10 News" in 1985, which it goes by today.
Local programs of the past featured Jerry Van Dyke of Coach and My Mother the Car fame, and "Captain Jack", whose most famous guest was an Indiana State University student named Larry Bird.
WTHI-TV has produced at least two personalities that have gone on to work nationaly. They are Cheryl Lemke who is an on-air personality for the Weather Channel. She was chief meteorologist in the 1980's. Also a former anchor for WTHI spent some time as an on-air personality at CNN headline news. His name is David Goodnow.
